Can NYISO Access the HQ Obligation to ISO- NE to Meet an LOLE Event

• NYISO Can only cut the HQ deliveries to ISO-NE if there is a

Transmission Limit Violation aggravated by the wheel.

• Likely Transmission Limit Violations aggravated by the Wheel are likely

to be on Central East or UPNY/SENY

• Cutting the wheel to address those violations does not free up the HQ energy

to meet an LOLE event in Southeast NY because doing so would again cause a Transmisson Limit Violation

• If there is not a Transmission Limit Violation the NYISO cannot cut the

wheel to meet an LOLE event

Implication of NYISO Rights to Cut the Transaction

• The proposed base case relies upon using the HQ interface to deliver

emergency energy that has already been obligated to ISO-NE

• The NYISO cannot access this part of the HQ interface under

conditions where the energy would help meet an LOLE event in New York

• HQ has a long history of wheeling capacity through NYISO to ISO-NE

and the NYISO reported that they do not buy out of their obligation

Guidance from Policy V

• In developing the current version of Policy V we identified proposed

treatment for exports of capacity from internal resources.

• The IRM is modeling emergency support from HQ that we are highly

unlikely to ever receive because it is already obligated to ISO-NE.

• Policy V states that: “The primary consideration for developing the

final load and capacity models for the external Control Areas is to avoid overdependence on the external Control Areas for emergency capacity support.”

• It is hard to pick a more extreme example of overdependence on

external control areas than relying on support you will not get.
